As many of you know, the City of Metter is about to rebuild the Fire Station. While under construction, the Fire Department will need somewhere to store their firetrucks and equipment. The Young Farmers and FFA organizations at Metter High School are constructing a pole barn at the Metter Police Station for the Fire Department to use to store their trucks/equipment. They are in the process of installing the trusses this week with the help of instructors Mr. Jon Milligan and Mr. Blake Jeffers, along with Mr. Harold Milligan.

Registration includes an ABR t-shirt, access to any in-person event activities, and makes you eligible for any raffles and contests! If you would like this year’s ABR t-shirt, you must register by March 2nd. You may still register after that time in order to be eligible for our contests. If you are interested in participating, please visit https://runsignup.com/Race/GA/... to sign up! If you have any questions regarding the event, please contact Christina Holland at 912-314-6463. The “Another Bloomin’ Run” event was established to promote awareness, acceptance and inclusion of students with disabilities in Candler County. Through proceeds earned by the race, our students in The Program for Exceptional Children have benefited in many ways. We have been able to provide enrichment opportunities for our students, purchase needed technology to help students succeed and provide educational resources for parents and much more.

Bring your children or grandchildren ages 0-5 years old for a night of fun activities at the L. C. Anderson Memorial Library - Candler County on Thursday, February 29 from 6-7 pm!

We are excited to announce that we will begin construction on the new Metter College & Career Academy very soon! As with any construction project, there are challenges. For at least the remainder of this school year and more than likely, into next year, students will continue to park in the grass area in front of the school. However, beginning MONDAY, FEBRUARY 19 the former student parking area will be blocked off to ALL traffic and there will be no through-traffic to the back of the High School. NO students will be able to park directly behind the High School. If faculty/staff wish to park near the tennis courts or the weight room during the school day, they will have to enter through the Oak Tree Entrance. Please note there is plenty of parking at the K8 complex. After 3:30 pm weekdays and on the weekends, traffic is permitted through the Bus Entrance to the athletic complexes. We understand this will be an inconvenience for some, but please understand that we are growing and the final product will be well worth it!

Don't forget to sign up for our Remind for families with babies and Tots ages 0-5 years! It's simple! On your phone, send a text to 81010 that says @4g3f2fg and you are signed up! You will receive text occasionally telling you about our fun family events!
